For some reason, people have decided to compare Starfield to Cyberpunk 2077 of all games, and even think the latter is the better of the two.
Look, I don't need to remind you of the state that Cyberpunk came out in, do I? It wasn't good, and even if there are some good things about it now, it took a long time to get there. Of course, that won't stop people comparing it with Starfield, because they're both RPGs, or something. You can see in the video below the comparisons that are being made between the two, which honestly mostly just involves water effects.
And yeah, alright, sure, Cyberpunk's look ever so slightly better. Falling into water from a great height has a better animation in Cyberpunk than it does in Starfield, and the water ripples just that bit more in Cyberpunk too. The other comparison made between the two games is having your gun out in public. In Cyberpunk, if you point your gun at someone, people start to panic and run away, same as if you start shooting, but that isn't the case in Starfield.
